Thank Dodd for his actions today, and also thank the EFF for taking on AT&T and other 3-letter government agencies. They are a small non-profit (they probably have less staff members than Senator Dodd has), even though they might look like a much bigger organization.

Non-profits run on donations: please consider the EFF as the year ends.

I’m sorry to say I don’t like it very much. The format is yucky in my humble opinion. I also miss the interesting photos, Christy’s little birds; the odd rock video of interest from TRex…there’s something very “corporate” about the new look. Of course, same excellent political analyses but I find myself not visiting FDL much anymore because it’s clunky and slow. Am probably posting this in the wrong place anyway. Oh well. nice knowin’ yas.</p> Former lurker, dropping by with my two cents on the new website. I’m sorry to say I don’t like it very much. The format is yucky in my humble opinion.
